The Discussion Board (DB) is part of the core of online learning. Classroom discussion in an online environment requires the active participation of students and the instructor to create robust interaction and dialogue. Every student is expected to create an original response to the open-ended DB question as well as engage in dialogue by responding to posts created by others throughout the week. At the end of each unit, DB participation will be assessed based on both level of engagement and the quality of the contribution to the discussion.

At a minimum, each student will be expected to post an original and thoughtful response to the DB question and contribute to the weekly dialogue by responding to at least two other posts from students. The first contribution must be posted before midnight (Central Time) on Wednesday of each week. Two additional responses are required after Wednesday of each week. Students are highly encouraged to engage on the Discussion Board early and often, as that is the primary way the university tracks class attendance and participation.

The purpose of the Discussion Board is to allow students to learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content and the DB question. Because it is not possible to engage in two-way dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB will be accepted after the end of each unit.

For your discussion board lab for Week 2, you will visit the Web site found here. Investigate the popular topics and the Word templates that you find on the site. While visiting the site, focus on the information about Word. Look for more information than the first item you come across. Look for information that interests you and that you did not know about Word.

After your research is complete, come back to the Discussion Board and post 1 to 2 items that you found interesting about Word. This can be about Word options you were not aware of or Word templates that are valuable.

Your primary post should be 2 paragraphs in length. A paragraph should be at least 3 sentences (though it can be more). At the end for your post, share where you obtained your information by using an APA reference of the Web site. You can list more if you wish. Cite in APA format anything that you get from outside sources. If you have questions about citations, refer to the AIU APA guide on the sidebar. You do not need a cover sheet on this assignment. Your reference should appear at the end of your post.

In your own words, please post a response to the Discussion Board and comment on other postings. You will be graded on the quality of your postings.

For assistance with your assignment, please use your text, Web resources, and all course materials.
